NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports App to Live Stream All Sunday Night Football Games to Desktops, Tablets, Connected TVs, & Mobile Devices

STAMFORD, Conn. – Nov. 7, 2018 – Carson Wentz and the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles host Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys in a pivotal NFC East showdown on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET on NBC, followed by a new, earlier SNF kickoff time of 8:20 p.m. ET, from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa.

This weekend’s game marks the 10th consecutive season that the two franchises have faced each other on NBC’s Sunday Night Football – the longest streak for any matchup on the broadcast primetime package in NFL history (ABC – 1970-2005; NBC – 2006-Present). Overall, the Cowboys and Eagles will meet for the 12th time on NBC’s SNF, tying with Giants-Cowboys (Sept. 16) for the most-played matchup in NBC SNF history (since 2006).

Calling Cowboys-Eagles is Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his record 33rd season as the voice of the NFL’s premier primetime package; 16-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth; and two-time Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya. This marks the 10th season that Michaels and Collinsworth will serve as the announce team in the NBC broadcast booth. In addition, three-time Super Bowl referee and SNF’s new rules analyst Terry McAulay will join Michaels and Collinsworth in the booth.

The Cowboys look to rebound from a 28-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. Wide receiver Amari Cooper, who the Cowboys acquired last week via a trade with the Oakland Raiders, caught five passes for 58 yards and one touchdown in his debut with Dallas. In his past five games against NFC East opponents, Prescott has thrown eight touchdowns and 0 interceptions.

The Eagles return to the field for the first time since Week 8, when they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Wentz has thrown for 1,533 yards, 12 touchdowns and one interception in his past five games. Golden Tate, a 1,000-yard receiver in three of the last four seasons, makes his Eagles debut on Sunday after an Oct. 30 trade from the Detroit Lions.

NBC’s coverage of Sunday Night Football is led by executive producer Fred Gaudelli and director Drew Esocoff.

Tirico interviewed Harrison for the latest episode of The Mike Tirico Podcast, available now across all podcast platforms. In this week’s episode, Harrison discusses why he doesn’t miss playing football; advice for young safeties; taking Tom Brady for granted; why the Chiefs and Rams are beatable; and comparisons between Philip Rivers and Brady.

Harrison on Brady: “We forget, and I forget, that Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback, he’s like the Michael Jordan of football.”

Harrison on the Los Angeles Chargers: “I believe in the Los Angeles Chargers – I think this is a team that can come in and do serious damage even if they don’t win the division, give them a Wild Card. This is a team that nobody’s going to want to play.”

Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday or Monday nights.

A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game. For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to December 30. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot.
